Hello Ebid guvnors,,
Ive read your post about advertising on National Tv named ;
Why does eBid not run major advertising campaigns to attract new members?
and yes it sounds like a lot of money for a 30 second advert so there are many more options available< i bet the bay didn't start off at the beginning with a massive lay out and a gamble, they must have built their advertising up within their means as they went along, that makes good business sense,
So have you thought about adverting on the buses both or either london and national, also London black cabs do advertising these days, bill boards , bus stops, even a man or 3 driving around the country with a van and a big board attached to it plastering eBid all over it, driving around the major city's as i say there are plenty more options other than jumping into that tv advert and risking loosing everything in one foul swop
if your really that stuck for a few quid ill put a card in my local sweet shop window for a week its only about a pound lol
but there are more ways of advertising and if the lower end advertising works then maybe one day you could afford that TV advert,
you have to start somewhere, and i believe the internet is eating itself up and not really any good for advertising anymore and word of mouth is no where near enough as people tell people and people forget as soon as they turn the next corner

Just my thoughts anyway, hope it may help at some point
Good luck
